The credit union industry is gaining market share from all other financial institutions. University Bancorp offers investors one of the few ways to invest in this ongoing growth of the credit union sector. Our Midwest Loan Services subsidiary grew over 30% per year on average for the past nine years in the value of mortgage loans subserviced to over $5.7 billion. Midwest is a business process outsourcer of mortgage services to 2.7% of the credit unions in the U.S., including 3 of the top 25 credit unions.
Islamic Finance serves individuals who wish to avoid paying or receiving interest while engaged in banking, including the 2.4 million Muslim citizens here in the U.S.
Federal Housing Administration Lending is the fastest growing sector of the residential mortgage business in the U.S., having grown from 3% of all new residential mortgage originations in 2006 to 39.2% in October 2008.
“In the midst of all the turmoil, community banking is a dynamically growing business. Our bank has a market capitalization today of only $6 million. Learn more about our story, our track record of successful innovation and what the future holds for us.”
